Renault Megane MK2 Headlight Bulb Change - VERY EASY 5 MINUTE BULB REPLACEMENT

A big deal is often made of changing bulbs on a mk2 Renault Megane, but the only tool needed is a car jack, and access is actually quite good via the access holes in the wheel arches.

For me, the biggest problem is pushing the pin in the holds the lamp in place on the passenger side (UK). I can't get ehough leverage to push it from the wheelarch, and there is no line of sight from top to push it with a chopstick or something like that. Eventually I get it out, but that single part of getting the clip usually takes me around 20 minutes. Same goes for re-attaching the rubber cover on the driver side part for the front sidelights and main beam. My technique is to fold it out like a sock, put it in place, and then allow it to fold back over the circular hole. Absolute pain though. Especially for someone like me who prefers to use high performance lamps, which absolutely DO blow more often.

I’ve owned a couple before and for some reason changing this bulb has been difficult to my last 225 and now the spring that holds the bulb in place has come out. Now a couple of faults are showing up, engine miss fire and something to do with the catalyst converter but regardless it’s a fun car to drive

@@b14nger No word of a lie... she was also my car at one point! Do the rear windows still not work? I also had to fashion a temporary handbrake lever button from a piece of dowel and an old o ring as a 'temporary' solution but it worked so well I left it! Great memories of driving to Borth, Wales in it, these cars are absolutely made for roads like that!

Hi All, Anybody has already tried to put instead of traditional halogen bulb, led bulb to low beam h7? Was the project image proper, could you please advice any product which is compatible? I have a 2008/12 Renault Megane II 1.4 16V. Thanks!

Doesn't work for the indicator light. Can loosen it, but it won't come out, from wheel arch, or from the bonnet. Have you got a solution for that.......!!!

@henrlima87 7 ай бұрын

An angle grinder will make short work of any annoying body panels in the way. You can then use a hammer and chisel to fit the bulb. Hope it helps 👍

Had to remove the headlight on a BMW E60 to change bulbs so the germans are no better

@BenjaminGoose 3 жыл бұрын

My lights don't have that clip that holds the bulb in, so it's practically impossible to change the bulbs without removing the headlight units since you have to jam a screwdriver into the socket. :( Thanks anyway.

PS two other mechanics had failed to do it (without loss of face) without removing the battery, which I was reluctant to do as I don't have radio code. My car does not have access via wheel arch so might be slightly different model etc

You didn't show shit. The most difficult bit are those clips holding the bulb in. I took the whole front panel off, so I could get the light assembly out, so I could see what am I dealing with. Took me half an hour to figure it out.
